Last weekend at the Billy Graham Training Center at The Cove, military couples gathered for a three-day retreat focused on strengthening relationships in and outside of marriage. Weekend activities included workshops, worship, fellowship and personal time with God.
Will Graham gave a word of encouragement, emboldening couples in their faith and their marriage.
“Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord!” —Psalm 150:6
During the first session of the weekend, Chip Ingram—author, Bible teacher and CEO of the ministry Living on the Edge—discussed how build a strong relationship with God.
Attendee takes notes on Ingram's message. Under the umbrella theme, “Keeping Love Alive: Four Relationships Great Marriages Have in Common," weekend sessions focused on strengthening relationships with God, self, believers and other couples.
During a time of fellowship, couples share smiles and laughter, backdropped by the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
